The Model Merino Ram.

The fleece on the merino ram should be
dense, well set and standing well up
under pressure, and when pressed down
should have sufficient elasticity to return
quickly to its upright position. IL ought
TO be dense rather than long in staple,
and should cover all parts Of the body,
head, legs and underneath the belly. IL
is desirable that this last have the wrin-
kles running down on TO and aeroTs it,
covered with as long, thick wool as the
sides. The face should be covered with a
heavy foretop Of wool, trimmed round
broadly under the eyes. The model ram
does not have the wool running down very
close to the end of the nose; but a ram
with such a face may be profitably used
on a flock IL the ewes have poor faces.
The fleece ought TO be as even in length,
thickness and quality on all parts Of the
body rs possible. .

Man and His Medicine.

There are l,0l0mcdicines in the pharma-
copGia Of the United States, and in most
communities there Is one man who has
tried every one Of them before discovering
that there never was anything the matter
with him. The taste for strong drink is a
mild, i%nnocuous, feeble inclination, com
pared with the raging mania for taking
medicine when once IL gains n pcrnicious-
ly actirc hold upon n man. There are not
many really sick people in the world, and
IL il wasn't for the man who delights in
dosing himself with anything that has a
long name and an almanac attachment,
there wouldn't be half enough paint on the
rocks OF picturesque America TO hide the
landscape.-Burdette in Brooklyn Eagle.

DOOM or THE ANTELOPE.
TIE Deadly Work Of h Bresch Loading
Cnrbine-scores Of Wounded Animals.

SaIotuG-tttfsr VI
A man OF the name of Potter or Porter,
who is a wonderful rife shot, persuaded
three or -four men to join him in the bust
ness Of killing antelope for their skins.
They selected this crossing place for an
ambush. In the woods near the summit
OF the divide and about q hundred yards
from the game trails Potter's assistants
were stationed. Potter, who was armed
with q heavy breech loading magazine
rife, concealed himselfin the woods about
half way down the mountains, from which
point he could see the trails Tor a long
way in both directions. His ambush was
not over seventy yards from the trails.
Suppose IL was in the fall. In the
autumn the antelope swarm out OF the
park. Band after band follow their lead
ers over the hill. Every animal is anxious
TO get out of the park before the winters
Arctic like storms begin to sweep across
the open highland grazing ground. When
the bands had passed beyond the ambus-
cade the men opened fire on the leaders
of the band, killing n here, breaking
the leg OF another there, and shooting
others through the bowels. The herd
scattered and ran down the trails in be-
wildered confusion. Then Porter opened
fire on them. They did not know where
TO go. Behind them rifles cracked. Be-
fore them a rife cracked. They hesitated.
They stood still. Their comrades were
falling dead among them. Others were
wounded and cried aloud. They ran in
circles on the hillside.
Porter fired steadily and accurately at
the frightened animals. When that herd
had drifted past him he reflled the empty
magazine Of his rifle and opened another
box of cartridges and impatiently waited
for another herd to cross the divide.
When the party's cartridges were ex-
hausted the men skinned the dead ami
mails. The meat was left on the ground
for wolves and other carnivorous animals
to eat. Porter boasted to me that he had
killed 140 antelope in one day at the trails
Of this crossing place. One hundred and
forty killed means about $50 wounded
and not secured. II means scores Of ami
mails wandering over the plains with
broken legs trailing behind them, other
scores with their bowels streaming ribbon
like from their wounds, and catching on
the sage brush as they sought 10 hide from
wolves which they knew were on their
bloody trails. I looked at Porter in silent
horror rs | estimated the suffering he had
caused Frank Wilkeson in New York

The Girl.

The California girl of the average type
is not pretty. The main difficulty with
which the women of the Pacific slope
must contend is the seeming impossibility
of bringing out or preserving u gooa com-

from the Pacific or from the mountains
combined with a naturally dry atmosphere
are enough TO ruin the best of compilations

FOR THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

BEAUTIFUL SONGS" is the name of a new
Sunday-school singing book, by the popular
composer and compiler of music, PROF. s. ".
STRAUB, of Chicago. The hymns in this book
are of higher Christian character and posses
more than ordinary merit, while the tune
are rich in melody and harmony. They have
a swing and spontaneity about them that can.
not fail to inspire everyG ne who sings or hears
them. While they are easy, they are not
trashy. "and are correctly composed. The mel.
odies do not run so high as to injure chill.
dren's voices. as many do. The large and clear
type used in BEAUTIFUL SONGS" is a feature
that is unusual and very important.
"BEAUTIFUL SONGS" contains 1872 pages,
and is well printed and strongly bound. with
handsome covers. We offer it TO our Univer-
salist Sunday-sehools, believing it will prove
as popular and well-adapted to their wants as
